Happy Birthday Concorde!
After 20 years, she's still the ultimate flying experience. Bill Buckley caught Concorde, a modern technical achievement, to view the most ancient of technical achievements, the pyramids; a supersonic weekend in which you travel at 23 miles a minute to go back 4,000 years.
Eighty miles an hour is the speed top skiers hit on their downhill runs. Not so for
John Lloyd , but he dreams of ski-ing glory in of all places, Transylvania.
Plus, live tonight, the winners names for the three fabulous Radio Times/Holiday 89 competition prizes.
